Yawgmoth, Thran Physician
Yawgmoth, also known as The Ineffable to his servants and referred to as The Lord of the Wastes throughout Dominarian mythology, was the god and creator of the Phyrexian race. Originally born a human, in his early life, he was the medical genius of the ancient Thran Empire who was banished for his highly controversial solutions to medical ailments.
Description While still human, Yawgmoth discovered an abandoned, artificial plane created by a deceased planeswalker and seized the opportunity to utilize that mechanical world to his ends. He took control of that plane and became its god, naming the world "Phyrexia," but his true dream was to return to his home plane of Dominaria and turn its inhabitants into "perfect beings" under his rule.
Early life Yawgmoth was born during the last century of the Thran Empire, in a time of conflict between the elite imperialists and republican rabble. Due to his fascination with the human body and his view that it was a marvelous machine, Yawgmoth became a eugenicist on the republican side. Unfortunately for him, the Republicans lost the power struggle, and all their followers, including the eugenicists, were exiled.
In The Thran, he is described as being a tall, muscular (due to past rigorous work), human, with thick, dark black hair that created a natural visor for his face. He is thirty-five years old when first introduced, returning from exile to meet Rebbec at the gates of the Thran capital, Halcyon.
During his exile (from ages thirty to thirty-five), Yawgmoth journeyed the globe, visiting many different civilizations in his ruthless, cold-hearted pursuit of knowledge. During this time, he committed many atrocities, of which the following are known:
- He set the Black-Cough upon the dwarves of Oryn Deeps, inciting a workers' rebellion that nearly killed the dwarven king and ended 1,000 years of dwarven rule.
- He turned the Creeping Mold of Argoth into a virulent plague that ate away the elves there. He also kidnapped their priest Elyssendril Lademmdrith and her healers, ordering the elves to pay ransom for their leader and the cure she had developed for the plague. When the elves paid, he delivered to them only sweetened water and 12 dead healers.
- He set the White Death upon the minotaurs of Talruum, just to study its effects.
- He infected the leaders of the cat people nations with rabies, after which they tore each other to pieces.
- He poisoned the human tribes of Gulatto Meisha.
- He pithed and vivisected the Bey of the Shivan Viashino.
